Dolly remembered her mother spinning thread and weaving cloth, skills which she learned as a child, but did not have to use after growing up. She continues to knit, crochet and embroider. Mrs. Arnold and her two sisters attended a private school in Hemphill taught by Miss Margaret Weatherred, and later went to Hemphill public school.
